About me
Hi there! So let me tell you about myself... I'm a creative with over six years experience in art direction and design. In this time I've produced impactful campaigns and branding, working both in the charity and commercial sector.

Senior Art Director and Designer
As soon as I started freelancing I knew I was a great fit. I love working on a variety of different projects, with diverse agencies and clients – it sparks my enthusiasm and proactiveness, which in turn reflects in my work. The inner-geek and organisation-nerd in me has helped too.
